What can I expect?

Space Lectures events have evolved in to social gathering as much as an opportunity to meet astronauts. A chance for friends with a shared passion to meet twice yearly and enjoy each other’s company in convivial surroundings.

Professional photographers are available at both events ready to capture your astronaut encounter with high quality prints, mounted, wrapped and ready for signing (see below for more examples).. The dinner affords guests an opportunity to bid on unique bespoke auction pieces, many personally signed by the astronauts. Space themed raffles, refreshments and vendors offering an array of photographs and memorabilia complement proceedings.

Not forgetting the complimentary autograph that accompanies every ticket.
